"I have always been upright and acted innocently." Ishiwatari puffed up his chest to meet the fierce criticism from the opposition members, "What you said about my collusion with the so-called office building developers is completely false. The reason why there is no subsidy

The reason for the grant to glass curtain wall cleaning companies is that directly subsidizing them would not be conducive to minimizing the cost of high-altitude operations. This is due to economic incentives."

After Ishiwatari finished speaking, many opposition members present booed.

Obviously, such an answer does not satisfy them.

"That is to say, you think it is more reasonable to give money to developers than to workers working at high altitudes?!" the opposition congressman loudly attacked.

"Please don't be emotional. For workers who work at heights, our Shinjuku City Council has set up special hazardous work subsidies and affordable insurance projects. Just to reduce the property management costs of office buildings, we have carried out glass curtain wall operations for owners.

Subsidy. These two things are different things. We are not biased in favor of developers!" Ishiwatari replied calmly.

Councilor Shangdao has been sitting in the hall directing the questioning against Ishiwatari.

He then winked at another congressman.

The congressman understood what he understood, and immediately stood up and fired at Ishiwatari, "Mr. Ishiwatari, please explain. Of the many land use plans you have approved, 79% of the projects have procedures for subsequent re-approval or change. For example, the Huanyu Building

For the project, the environmental protection procedures for the building’s occupation of the Shinjuku City wetland were subsequently corrected and added. For another example, the Bolin Factory project was later supplemented and corrected for the procedures for building a substation next to the factory. For another example, the Yucheng Food Street project was supplemented and added for the expansion of the building after the fact.

The procedures for exiting underground fire evacuation passages resulted in the actual underground construction area afterward far exceeding the approved area beforehand."

The congressman slammed a thick stack of information on the table with a clang, "Mr. Ishiwatari, please tell us whether you deliberately concealed key factors that could affect the approval when implementing the project. Then take measures

To force the implementation of projects that should not have been launched by making corrections afterwards?!"

It's coming fiercely, like a torrential downpour.

However, Ishiwata listened to the congressman's attack and just shrugged helplessly, "Congressman, I don't know if you have relevant practical experience. After a project is planned on paper and implemented, what will happen?

There are many problems that we did not expect before. Take what you said about the factory building a substation. In fact, it is because the factory has made additional investment that the power load may exceed the original imagination, so it is necessary to build additional substations."

"Is this a bad thing? Additional investment in factories will help create more jobs and tax revenue for Shinjuku City, making our Shinjuku City more competitive."

"We are not almighty gods. We cannot predict all the situations that will occur in a project by planning in advance. The procedures for us to make corrections afterwards just show that we are solving problems pragmatically." Ishiwatari replied.

The reporters at the venue gradually began to realize the power of the vice-chairman of the Shinjuku City Development Committee.

They did not expect that the staff of a local city hall would have such outstanding eloquence and brains.

It seems that there is a reason why Ishiwatari was able to work in the government agency before.

Soon, another council member launched a counterattack, "Mr. Ishiwatari, I would like to ask you to pay attention to the way you review and approve public projects. Why, you did not follow the rules of one project for one discussion, one project for one batch, but adopted a large number of bundled approvals

Method. Bundle several expenditure items into one relatively major expenditure item for approval. This approach of your development committee is fishing in troubled waters!"

"Moreover, most of the members of your development committee come from important officials from various departments of the city hall. Do you violate the standard process that each department should first discuss the procedures internally and then make decisions? Are you trying to replace the decision-making of the development committee with the decision-making of the development committee?

Decision-making in various departments of City Hall?! Do your processes and procedures seriously violate the law?"

Another extremely serious allegation was made.

The issue of bundling the approval and development committee members is indeed a major flaw in Shinjuku City's public spending.

Whether the expenditure itself is reasonable or not is irrelevant.

However, if standard deliberation and decision-making procedures are violated, it is a serious offense.

Ishiwatari remained calm. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Our Shinjuku City Development Committee has always pursued legality of procedures and rapid response to decision-making. Indeed, some of our public expenditure projects are bundled together for approval.

Yes, there is no one-by-one discussion. However, these bundled projects are highly related, belong to the same investment project, and are actually inseparable. We believe that we have not done anything wrong in bundling approval. This takes into account both

The actual characteristics of the project itself.”

"As for the composition of our Development Committee mentioned by this congressman. In fact, the organizational structure of the Development Committee is a strategy proposed by the current cabinet to deal with organizational rigidity. The composition of our Development Committee is in line with the guidelines issued by the Cabinet.

If you think it’s inappropriate, please don’t question our Shinjuku City City Hall staff. Please question the cabinet!”

Ishiwatari fought back extremely forcefully.

Throughout the questioning, he did not fall behind in the slightest.

During the rounds of questioning from several members of Congress, Ishiwatari responded with ease and ease.

Originally, Ishiwatari was once questioned by the media about his financial route in Shinjuku City. However, during this questioning by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, many media reporters and the public were moved by his demeanor.

Shidu looked at the information in his hand.

Although he knew that he looked cool on the surface, he still had weaknesses.

This weakness is Shinjuku City’s high-tech industrial park project.

But fortunately, most of the members who asked questions today did not pay attention.

After all, no one may have thought that such a project that was used as a facade would actually have problems.

Just as the questioning was coming to an end, Councilor Shangdao, who had been directing, suddenly stood up. He looked coldly at Ishiwatari on the stage. Shangdao was a person who was good at confusing his opponents. His favorite was to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east. Previously,

The round-the-clock battle between many opposition members is just to confuse the other party.

Now, it's time for the real sword to be drawn out of its sheath.

Representative Ueshima's voice rang out in the hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly:

"Mr. Ishiwatari, please explain your relationship with Ms. Erizo."
Chapter completed!
